ACT 2m LSZH F/UTP Cat5e Crossover Patch Cable, Black IB5102

Gigabit-ready crossover cable with F/UTP shielding and LSZH jacket, built for direct PC-to-PC or switch-to-switch links where auto-MDI/MDIX is unavailable.

Overview

The ACT IB5102 is a 2-meter Cat5e crossover patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. Its F/UTP construction wraps all four twisted pairs in an overall foil shield, reducing alien crosstalk in dense installations. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen in a fire, making it suitable for enclosed spaces. Crossover wiring swaps the transmit and receive pairs, allowing two similar devices to communicate without an intermediate hub or switch.

What stands out

• F/UTP foil shielding for improved noise immunity
• LSZH jacket for low smoke and halogen-free safety
• Crossover pinout for legacy device-to-device connections
• Supports Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 MHz
• Stranded 24 AWG copper conductors with gold-plated contacts
